Ho said the Oregon Daily Journal: "With preference to tho agitation concern Sing Uccd Smoot I want to remind "you that senators and politics are no part of our religious services, nod that as a senator Mr. Smoot I j does not represent any church nor 1 5 any ono class of people "He wis elected by n republican ? legislature consisting of Mormons and non-Mormons, and no church in fluence was used to elect him. "We do not uso church influence In politic?. Wo are republicans and democrats, and as citizens of tho United States have a right to take cart In tho elections of our country. lilr. Smoot Is a practical, wide-awake llbuslness man a promoter of mining. y manufacturing, agricultural and stock ('raising. "Some of his most ardent admlr- I erg and supporters In Utah are gen tiles, and as a senator he represents them as much as he does the Mor- ImoBs. Ho represents them all alike. The church has no concern about the retention of his seat in the senate. ht had nothing to do with his elec- Ition. If tho senate casts him out it lirill not retard tho progress of the I church in tho least degree. The church depends upon God to pro- Imote her interests upon the earth an noi upon a uimeu mates sena tor." In an interview Mr. Cowloy said: I'Thls talk nbout polygamy conies tram the same source that always bis misrepresented and persecuted per church. When Utah was admit ted to statehood we mado a cove nant with the government and wo , have kept It. We no longer teach or countenance this practice. We apostles and elders of the church teach obedience to the law. "The word Mormon slgnmes more good, and Mormonism, tne system which stands for all truths. It con templates the development of every Ood-llko attribute In every human being, along tho lines of unbounded progress, In the spiritual, social, in tellectual and material world. "It clnlms to possess tho elements essential to feed nnd satisfy tho yearning of the human heart for tho knowledge of man's origin, purpoao and destiny, arms him with power in a world of sin and degredatlon to successfully come back and over come weaknesses of the flesh. "Wo recognize that those claims may bo mado for Christianity In gen eral, but wo fall to discover In char acteristics of modern Christianity, those fruits which tho Messiah prom ised as a seal of his dlvino work. "You ask our church members in every part of mo world tho sourco of their conversion, and you discover it was not the arguments nor tho eloquence of Mormon preachers, but tho testimony of conviction brought to their own souls by the spirit of divine truth. This makes them In dependent, and places them upon a platform of equality. This spirit plants in their hearts tho sumo hopes. They see alike, and are therefore a unity in action as well as in profession. "Many thousands of them never saw tho leading men of the church, i-woro never under their so-called 'mag 1 netlc' influence, and yet they are as ! strong in the faith as tho loaders themselves. Joseph Smith, the pro phet, was once asked how he gov erned so many people. He answered: 'I do not govern them, I teach them true principles and they govern themselves.' " Mr. Cowloy is one of the 12 apos tles of the Mormon church and is ac companied by Nephi W. Pratt, presi dent of tho Northwest States Mission Society, which Includes tho states of Washington, Northern Idaho, Wyo ming and British Columbia. Thoy are en route to British Columbia to Investigate a sugar beet factory proposition as well as to do mission ary work. PARKER VS. HEARST DEMOCRATIC FIGHT AHEAD IN NEW YORK. The Native New Yorker and the State's Adopted Son Will Fight for Support in the National Conven tion Preparations Being Made for the Coming State Convention Which Will Elect the Delegates. WMany, K. Y., March 5. Pursuant 'JTZfltcall issued last week by Chair man Campbell the members of the democratic state committee of Now York met at the state headquarters here at noon tndav to discuss tho matter of time and place for holding the state convention. From all indi cations it appears probable that the convention will bo held in New York city Immediately following the ed journment of tho legislature. From statements made by mem bers of tho commltteo and by other leading democrats who are hero for the meeting It seems to be tho gen eral opinion among them that the contest for tho democratic nomina tion for president is narrowing down to Judge Parker and William It. Hearst. The understanding is that former Senator David B. Hil), Mayor Mc Clellan oi New York, Senator Mc Carren of Brooklyn, and either Ed ward Murphy, Jr., of Tror, or some Western New York democrat, will comprise the "Big Four" that Now York, will send to the St. Louis con vention. Tammany Leader Murphy, it is said, could be ono of the delegates-at-Iargo should he care for the honor. It is believed, however, that Mr. Murphy prefers to go to tho national convention as a district delegate,, with Bourke Cochrane, Charles A. Towno, John G. Carlisle, and other well known democrats of New York city. CODFISH SCARCE. Thi coffee is sold in 1 and 2 lb. tins. Grind fresh each day not too fine. J. A. FOLGER ax CO. Bmn Frnclco Importers of rine CofT Sudden and Unaccountable Decrease In the Catch Off Newfoundland and Labrador Coasts Supply Is Sev. eral Million Pounds Behind the Normal Demand. Gloucester. Mass., March o. Cured codfish, familiarly known to tho palates of thousands of Ameri-cm.-, as an appetizing breakfast rel ieh. has now risen to the level of a luxury. Supplies at primary points are such that dealers aro uiiablo to securo enough stock for tho most pressing wants, and prices have ad vanced by leaps and bounds Never before in the history of Gloucester has it been recorded that the fish dealers withdrew their salesmen from the road In the height of tho Lenten season. But this is what has happened now. The market Is so bare of supplies that some of tho largest houses here and In Boston have closed their cur ing mid cuttlng-iin plants, and the prices have advanced to the highest point reached since the civil war. It Is not a question of price, however, but of supply. Tho landings of salt cod for Inst year were 28,370.0(10 pounds. The annual consumption is in excess of 30,000,000 pounds, and the consequence Is that tho supply Is far below tho normal demand. The greatest efforts aro being made by vessel owners and curers to fit out tho vessels lor codflshlng, hut as the halt is short and the weather conditions generally unfa vorable. It will probably bo two mouths before any stock to speak of is available for tho market, and an oven longer tlnro before there Is any reduction in prices, THE ST. JOE STORE Changes Hands....
